I've mentioned before that the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City has
been my go-to for shopping since I moved to the D.C. area over
three years ago. I've always thought it was fabulous and getting to
be their Style Setter is, obviously, pretty amazing! I had heard
rumblings a few months back that they were planning some pretty
major renovations for the mall, and couldn't have been more excited
when the official news broke....

We're pretty lucky here at the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City to
have a Nordstrom that carries the Topshop line. I was so excited
when it first launched and it's still one of the sections I peruse
whenever I'm in the store -- I just can't help it! One of the perks
is that we get to reap the benefits of any collaborations Topshop
might partake in. And one of the more notable ones they've done
over the years is with style...

It's hard to believe it's already May and we're celebrating college
graduations with high school graduations not far behind! And then
in the middle of it all we get to celebrate Father's Day on June 15
and the fab dads in our lives who have, more likely than not,
helped get graduates to where they are today. So it's only right to
do a little combined gift guide, no? I always feel like a milestone
such as graduation is the...

I'm about to be a first time mom and couldn't be more excited and
overwhelmed all at the same time! We're expecting a girl and, as a
fashion and personal style blogger, I'm not-so-secretly over the
moon that I get to have a little mini me to play dress up with. Our
family and friends have been more than generous in terms of getting
her wardrobe all set for her arrival. But, of course, I couldn't
help but do a little...

Mother's Day is on Sunday, which means
there's still time to pick up some last minute gifts if you haven't
already done your shopping. After all, we owe our moms so much --
don't they deserve the very best? Here are a few of my favorite
picks, all of which can be found at the Fashion Centre at Pentagon
City: 1. C. Wonder
bangles -- These simple bangles are perfect for simple,
everyday accessorizing. They go with...

All images via Pinterest I went through a ripped denim phase at the
end of high school/beginning of college when Abercrombie, Hollister
and the like were the only places I shopped and only sold jeans
that were distressed (and flared). Then the classic skinny jean
took over and I don't think I ever looked back. Until now, that is.
Lately, we've been seeing so much ripped denim -- I mean seriously
ripped denim -- and I...

I have to admit, I was a bit surprised when Pantone unveiled that
"Radiant Orchid" was their 2014 Color of the Year. Coming off of
2013 where emerald took center stage and seemed to be such a
wearable tone, I thought this was a bold choice. And I wasn't sure
how I felt about it. But now that we're in the second month of the
year and I've had time to adjust, this vibrant purple hue has
definitely started to grow on me. Nail...

Image c/o SteveMadden.com Blogging has led to some pretty
amazing opportunities for me in my own little corner of the
Internet, and seeing the success others have had on a much larger
scale continues to motivate me on a daily basis. Take, for
instance, fashion blogger and international street style star
Chiara Ferragni of The Blonde Salad. After several other successful
collaborations with brands, she recently teamed up...

All images via Pinterest To say this winter has been brutal would be
an understatement. The northeast will be digging out until July,
New York City has been dumped on more times than it probably likes
to be reminded of, and parts of the country that are usually warm
weather destinations for everyone trying to escape these conditions
have hit record low temperatures. It's been a challenge and I can't
remember a time when...
